OConnor will bo placed in the High school building on tho 27th The exhibit represents actual v orkdoue in all tho grades of the Norfolk schools In order to mako the meeting of tho association a success and cause tho visi tors to feel that Norfolk is n pleasant place in which to convene it will bo necessary for tho residents of tho city to toko an interest in and attend the meetings make tho visitors feel at homo in every way possible and show to them in tho truest sense Norfolks hospitable side At their meeting held hero two years ago some of the visiting teachers were inclined to tho belief that thoir presence was not appreciated and that their work in tho interest of edu cation was not fully understood Other organizations holding district or stato meetings here have been warmly re ceived by the citizens who have endeav ored to make their stay pleasant and profitable The teachers composing this association are as fully entitled to a cordial reception as any of them They devote their time to tho people in giving their children instruction and certainly citizens should indicate an appreciation of their work Devote a few hours of each day they aro hero Tn getting ac quainted nnd the acquaintances thus formednro certain to prove mutually beneficial and helpful Teachers who board at hotels can ma terially aid in the matter of getting ac quainted with each other and citizens Heretofore when the association has met it has been customary for tho gentlemen teachers to congregate in tho lobbies and offices of the hotel while the ladies have repaired to the parlors They commingled only at the meetings when conversation was either wholly impossible or limited Sociability and acquaintanceship was therefore largely impossible and thoir visit would have been much more satisfactory if there had been no division during the day and evening The citizens can likewise materia aid tho association by liberally patroniz ing their entertainment features These will cost the association considerable and the people oaunot only aid in meet ing the qxpense but may enjoy the features with the teachers and feel that they are fully recompensed by tho in struction and amusement obtained It is hoped by tho local committees that thiB will be one of tho most pleas ant and profitablo so eions in tho history of tho association and they hope for the hoarty co operation of tho citizens in making it so Prof F Warrant HypnotlHt It seems that F Warrant woll known in Norfolk as tho builder of the Audi toriam has at last engaged in a pur suit at whioh he should bo perfectly at home anyway there are quite a number of people who should be willing to testify to his powers of making subjects do that for which they afterward feel a sort of regret The gentleman is now n full fledged hypnotist with a Prof uttaohment to his cognomen Tho Sioux City Journal of Friday thus re viows his performance at that place Thursday Prof F Warrant hynotist enter tained n very

professor made his feet fast to the floor aud then invited Mr Hall to kick his heels up in tho air Mr Hull failed to kick aud scorned to bo dooldodly under tho professors powor But when Mr Nivling was triod by tho professor a failure resulted Aftor much lalor on tho hypnotists part Mr Nivling wns asked to kick and ho camo within nn inch of lauding his brogau in the hypnotists oyo Tho professor gavo him up as a bad subjoot During tho ovening subjects woro put uudor hypnotic iuiluonco and mado to do many ludicrous things SATURDAY SIFTINGS T L Ackorman was up from Stnnton ovor night S T Black was

year ago has ono year of his term remaining to be com pleted Accordingly both candidates appeared before City Clerk McFarland aud rcquoHted the withdrawal or their nuinoN from tho ticket which was

two years and the statutes while provid ing for tho election or mayor olty olerk and other officials iu u city or this clus t each year makes an exception in the matter of electing police judge to com ply with the provisions of tho constitu lion In ihsuing the culls and conduct ing tho conventions this exception was not noted and both parties solected candidates fori ho position It is prob able that the central committees should have taken tho matter in hand and with drawn their cuniliilates but inasmuoh as it has beon satisfaotorily arranged be tween the candidates and I he city clerk
